Wild donkeys are very plentiful in
Northern Afghanistan, and they are oc-
casionally shot and eaten. An officer of
the English boundary commission count
ed sixteen large herds of wild donkeys
in sight at one time Henry Labouchere,
editor of the Truth, who was in Paris
during the siege, remarked: Donkey
is delicious eating. This was so soon
realized during the siege of Paris by be
leaguered epicures that the price Of
donkey was about five times that of
horse. "-Phtsblrg Commercial Gazette.

In Persia every one from the King
down rises at six o'clock in the morning,
They then partake of a cup of tea and
some bread Tea is very important
article of diet, and the tea-urn is nearly
always busy. No milk is used, but they
sweeten the tea almost to the consistency
of syrup. Persian dinners are always
preceded by pipes (hubble-bubbles), while
tea and sweets are handed around. Then
servants bring in 4 long leathern sheet
and place it on the ground; the guests
take their seats around it, squatting on
the ground. A flat loaf of bread is placed
before each man. Music plays. The din
ner IS brought in on trays and placed on
the ground on the leathern sheet: the
covers are removed; the host saws "Biss-
millah' Gin the name of God'0, and in
silence all fall to with their fingers. In
the south of Persia dates are the staple
food; they are very cheap and satisfying.
During the summer lettuce, grapes, apri-
cots, onions and cucumbers form the dain
ties of the villager; and these, with bread,
cheese and curds, are their only food. In
every large town cook-shops abound. But
in Persia, as in the rest of the East, bread.
rice or dates are the real food-the meat
merely sauce or bonnie bouche. Persians
Of all ages are very fond of confectionery,
and are constantly devOuring sweets.
The lower-class Persian will cat several
pounds Of grapes, cucumbers or apricots
for meal. They eat onions as we eat
apples.

The famous bird's-nest soup, beloved
Of the Chinese gourmet, is made Of the
nest of bird that is a native of Ceylon
and of the Malay region, and it builds in
caves and on cliffs where ordinary nest
material is scanty. Moreover it is a con-
tirmed high-hyer, seeming always dis
posed to avoid the ground. The best and
cleanest nests, which fetch the highest
price, are composed of pure mucus from
the salivary glands The material in its
hardened state is brittle, fibrous, white
and transparent, very like pure gum
arabic, or even glass" aud the inner lin
ing consists of nothing but small soft
feathers. Inferior nests, which command
a smaller price in the Chinese market, are
composed in part of dry grasses, hair and
down, welded together by the fibrous
gummy secretion. In short, as Mr. Oar
win b!untly puts it: THE Chinese make
soup of dried saliva In shape the nests
are much like hanging pouches.

\ traveller giving some account Of the
favorite dishes and the people OF Poland
writes: " In the first place there is bigos,
kind of stew, prepared with pork sau-
sages, sauerkraut, ham and bacon, wrapped
tightly in a napkin and boiled for two
hours. Their favorite soup is called bas-
zoz, made out Of beef bouilon, in which
slices of red beet root are boiled. Kapus-
MAX, another national soup, is made of
saucrkraut and bacon boiled in beef soup.
Ucha IS Russian soup, but, nevertheless,
much appreciated in the oppressed coun-
try. A fish soup it is, prepared from
sterlets. The sterlet is also much used,
in conjunction with the flesh Of the stur-
geon, in the preparation Of an excellent
pie call kulibiaga.'

Honest Enemies.

Never be afraid of a good honest enemy,
says Gambler" in the Chicago Journal.
Cultivate one as old ladies cultivate catnip
and thoroughwort They may not be
pleasant to have around, but if your moral
and mental digestion get cloyed with the
sweets of 1attery, and you are in danger of
falling into fever from excess of inJudi-
cious adulation, a good thorough-spoken
enemy will prove very efficient equalizer
and wholesome tonic. People who don't
amount to anything never have enemies,
any more than trees that don't bear fruit
are stoned for apples. You never find bees
buzzing around blossomless stalks; it is
only where the sweetest flowers grow that
they congregate with endless fret and furry.
The fact that you have an enemy proves
that you are alive. Nobody ever yet took
the trouble to ride tilt against the peace
full dreamers in cemetry. Enemies are
what hoes are to potato hills-they keep
down the weeds The cultivator, as it goes
tearing between the corn-hillocks, brings
all the useless weeds to grief, but it sets
the tassel of the corn atilt like an emerald
plume Our friends sometimes, like the
faithless Delilah, hull us into dangerous
content, therein we are despoiled of strength
and of the qualities that go to make up true
manhood or womanhood, but, like the mos
quito, our enemies are bound to keep us
wide awake and active Disease never
came from river that has rocky channel
and is forced to battle its way over discOur
aging and battling stones, but rivers that
have no distractions are apt to 60 by the
name of ponds, and the very serenity of
their stagnation breeds EMBELLISHMENTS.
Give young man hard row in life, with
plenty of discouragements and good whole
some criticism, and he will enter the port
of middle age like war-ship, staunch and
full-manned. Give him luxurious career
of petted idleness, with no enemy to keep
the watch on the lookout and he will sail
into port very likely from mid-sea by down.
ward plunge to the bottom.
Our friends are apt to be blind to our
faults; our enemies never are. Through
the constant fattery of the former we grow
in the wrong direction, as city aldermen
do-about the girth. Under the sharp in
fuence of honest criticism, we grow as pine
trees do-straight toward Heaven. Then
let us cultivate face-to-face, honest enemies,
and beware of false security of friendship.
The one will make hero of you; the other
will turn you into the mold of pint cup,
unable to hold the full measurement of
character development.

The Latest in Paper.

Doors, which one would think were pol
ished mahogany but that they swing so
lightly, and are free from swelling, crack
ing or warping, are composed each of two
thick paper boards, stamped and nodded
into panels, and glued together with glue
and potash, and then rolled through heavy
rollers. These doors are first covered with
waterproof coating, then painted and
vanished and hung in the ordinary way:
Few persons can detect that they are not
made of wood, particularly when used as
sliding doors.
Black walnut is said to be getting very
scarce in this country, but picture frames
are now made of paper and colored like
walnut, and are so perfect that no one could
detect them without cutting them. Paper
pulp, glue, linseed oil and carbonate of lime
or whiting are mixed together and heated
into thick cream, which, on being allowed
to cool, is run into moulds and hardened.
Drawing-rooms can be set off by hand
some pianos manufactured from paper-a
French invention. 4 beautiful musical
instrument of this kind has lately been an
object of great curiosity to the connoisseurs
and musical savants of Paris. The entire
case is made of compressed paper, to which
is given hard surface and cream-white,
brilliant polish. The legs and sides are
prnamented with arabesques and floral de-
signs. Fhe exterior, and rs much of the
interior as ear be Gnsa TIC ifissF r =
ment is open, are covered with wreaths and
mcdallions, painted in miniature by some
of the leading artists of Paris. The tone
of this instrument is said to be of excellent
quality, though not loud. Tho broken,
alternating character of piano music is re-
placed by rich, full, continuous roll of
sound, resembling somewhat that of the
organ, Only two of these instruments
haye been made. One is still on exhibit
bition the other has been sold to the Duke
of Devonshire.- Chambers .IeFnal,
